Some of us could be receiving our Roamio as soon as tomorrow. Feedback on unboxing, setup and initial reaction might be interesting. We have read the reviews, now for some feedback from those who really count!!

im curious as well, i almost odered it yesterday but i didn't, with some of the stuff with the s4 (like not using the second processor for like 8 months).

Interested to hear how channel changing is with the Roamio and a Mini. Hoping to simplify my setup and one of the hangups with the Mini is the 4 - 5 second channel changes.

All HD tuners in any device will take at least a few seconds for channel changes. It is the nature of HD tuning and MPEG (it has to wait for full frames). Even more so if it involves the tuning adapter.

I don't know, haven't timed it lately and don't recall specifically. I never watch live TV, so it is very rare I actually "tune" a channel by hand. I can say that it will vary depending on if it is SDV or not and if the TiVo is busy or not. 3 seems about right from what little I recall. Others can add their observed data points.

Interesting. I *KNOW* I saw 1080P/24/30/60 in print on a web site listing/describing specs of the Roamio. But I don't recall where or if it was authoritative or in reference to what (TV connection, streaming, Netflix, etc)

By only having 1080p24 pass through that is the thng that causes issues with netflix when it switches resolutions instead of scaling it to 1080P like other Netflix streaming devices do.

This is rather shocking if they still only have 1080P24 pass through. If it was 2008 i could see but not in 2013.

Please say it isn't so. I've turned off 1080p24 on my Premiere and Netflix still blinks out all of the time. It drives me nuts. So nuts in fact, that if they don't fix this, I don't think I'll upgrade. I use Netflix all the time and 10-20 blink outs in a 30 minute program is ridiculous.
